Kevin McCarthy Calls Matt Gaetz a Pedophile During Podcast Interview [VIDEO]

During an appearance on the Patrick Bet David Podcast, Kevin McCarthy tore into frequent critic Matt Gaetz, calling the Florida Rep. a pedophile. 

While Gaetz and McCarthy are willing to do anything to impress Donald Trump, they don't get along—the Florida Rep. was a key architect in McCarthy's humiliating ouster as Speaker of the House. 

Since that moment between Gaetz and McCarthy, the former Speaker has taken several opportunities to knock Gaetz and his investigations related to his alleged relationships with minors and attendance at drug-fueled parties. 

"Everything I said has come to fruition,” McCarthy said while referencing a recent court finding concerning and investigation into Gaetz. “It’s unfortunate that one person would utilize something to stop what was coming after them and disrupt the entire Congress."

The host countered by asking McCarthy, "How is the relationship now? Because I know I saw you guys at the RNC where he walked up to you while you’re talking to somebody. ‘You wouldn’t be on the stage, you would be booed’ or something like that. Are you guys better know or–."

McCarthy interrupted the host before he could get his question out, saying, "No! I don’t hang around with pedophiles, I’m sorry."
